Dave Barnes artistic approach involves the practice of transforming modern concept to reveal nostalgic mood, sometimes refered to as “Oldification”. Recycled elements, faded colours, layered/collaged backgrounds, and sand papered imagery all play a part in this process, along with the use of bold observational line and memory dissolved Rockwellian imagery. His work is vintage and nostalgic, while still modern and aggressive.
